Out Now_Drift, Don't Book 8
I'm so late doing this, as Drift was out a few days ago, but... Yay! Drift, book 8 in the Award-winning Don’t series, is finally -- alive!!!
It's taken a while, but it's perfect timing as the Don't... lads are up for one hell of a dark... explosive Christmas!!! *does exceedingly dark romance dance*
Usual very dark triggers apply, and I mean if it’s out there this one has it, and then some!

Drift:
“My head. My body. My fucking heart behind it all.” – Jack Harrison.
Jack’s quiet confidence calls it out—he’ll get Martin back. It’s there in his soft smile to Jan, in the private brush of touch to the back of Gray’s hand. Jack’s meetings with his psychiatrist Dr Halliday are never missed, care-plans are adjusted with each no-show from Martin, and behind it all, Jack’s hold on to Gray and Jan is never more him: never more intimate.
Yet something tastes off to Gray.
Like Jan, he’s only ever known Jack alongside Martin.
But now Jack has no mask to hide beneath…?
No Martin?
When a homeless youth with the heart and soul of a Gothic romantic drifts into Gray’s hall, his fingerprints acid-burned away, masking all identity – the concern is never more there for Jack. Jack’s longer, slower drift into the… Unknown.
As ever, thank you to @drawnbyaggie for all of her gorgeous Drift artwork!

Drift , Don't Book 8: Update
Pre-order date coming soon for a release before Xmas!
Drift
Drift... Don't Book 8 is taking so long because it's a very dark two-novel psych thriller. :) The first coming with a very tough cliffhanger.
I don't want the wait to be too long for the second novel, this is why I want them released close together.
I'll also be releasing Slay Bells Ring just before Christmas, which is a standalone MM Xmas thriller, and a re-release.
Thank you all for your patience and gorgeous emails asking about Drift!!!
Jack.

Don't... Book 8 (Update)
So, we had new -- newer cover and title for Don't... Book 8. Also a Blurb!

Don't... Christmas Special
Out on Pre-order!
Raising funds for HIV/AIDS charities this Christmas, I'm taking part in the Kind Hearts At Christmas charity Anthology.
For some reason it’s hard to do sweet when it surrounds the Don’t… lads. So in true Don’t style—
I’m not even going to try to! *sobs... laughs*
We're going dark Welsh folklore, with a really darker Dickensian ghost-of-Christmas-future contemporary twist. *does happy ghost twist dance* And for those who know Broken Ink's, Kiyen and Fal, they may just understand the term... ghost!!!
Title: Holly and the Heathen
Blurb:
The old Welsh tree that Kiyen crashes into carries a dark folklore, one that stops MI5 Director Gray Raoul from offering to help. Only Gray’s not exactly travelling home alone for Christmas, and even under threat of hearing his name called out in Welsh, the whisper in his ear is that it’s the time for good will, even for him.
(I can’t guarantee sweet romance, but being snowed in with Jack Harrison and all that ice… you can bet Gray's freezer will be filled with, erm, 'ice sculptures' of some shape or form that are big enough to make the Devil blush when it comes to Jan! lol.)
Please don't forget to pre-order if this one tickles your darker lurkings! The Kind Hearts At Christmas anthology is raising money for a great cause!! LINK BELOW!
Details on Kind Hearts At Christmas
Please note: this is just the pre-order cover! We'll have a cover reveal soon!!
So... the details!
Kind Hearts At Christmas is an mm romance anthology in support of HIV / AIDS charities.
It’s Christmas…it’s snowing, there are gifts to give and receive, trees to decorate and all the great food to enjoy. It’s a time to spread kindness where men are falling in love, lust and everything in between.
From a school reunion, a morning after a one-night stand, university friends, a secret agent, an ex-husband in a coma, an unemployed truck driver, a naked man in a snowstorm, a village policeman, a motherless boy, Kind Hearts At Christmas has something for everyone. Each story features a romance between men during the Christmas holidays, as they express their desires, from sweet kisses, up to spicy so-much-more.
Kind Hearts At Christmas has all the tropes including: snowed in, cowboys, holiday, forced proximity, fairy-tale folklore, established couple, adult film star, only one bed, return to hometown, hurt/comfort, school crushes, opposites attract, good boy/bad boy, found family & enemies to lovers.
Grab some hot chocolate sprinkled with marshmallows, indulge in a mince pie or a slice of Christmas cake, curl up and escape into the Christmassy romance. With sixteen stories by some of your favourite mm romance authors, you're sure to find something to help you rediscover the joy and kindness of Christmas!
